Teacher Sues Illinois School District For Discrimination Against Whites

White students and teachers in Northeastern Illinois are being illegally discriminated against for the color of their skin and forced to accept that “white identity is inherently racist.” Drama teacher Stacy Deemar, who has been with the Evanston/Skokie School District 65 for almost 20 years, is fighting back.

On Tuesday, the Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit against the District for mandating this segregation and racial division in schools.

“By vowing to define its teachers and students solely by their race, District 65 promotes and reinforces a view of race essentialism that divides Americans into groups based solely on their skin color,” said SLF General Counsel Kimberly Hermann. “District 65 teaches its teachers and students that their whole identity comes from the color of their skin. It teaches them to hate each other. It teaches them not only how to be racist, but that they should be racist. This is illegal, wrong, and must be stopped.”

Tuesday’s filing alleges that District 65 has implemented critical race theory into school lessons, classroom procedures, and teacher training for years. The district’s so-called equity standards were first set in 2016 and have advanced far past the point of racial discrimination.(snip)

In October 2020, superintendent Devon Horton told District 65 teachers, “If you’re not antiracist, we can’t have you in front of our students.” In its antiracist programming, District 65 forces employees to accept that white individuals are “loud, authoritative [and] controlling,” to understand, “To be less white is to be less racially oppressive,” to acknowledge that “white identity is inherently racist,” to denounce “white privilege,” to participate in racially segregated exercises, and to participate in “privilege walks,” where teachers must respond to the prompt “Because of my race or color…” If teachers fail to complete the training, District 65 openly labels them “racist.”

Good. Teachers all across this nation need to start doing this en mass. The left are forcing racism on this nation, it can’t stand.

Someone said the other day, ‘equality used to mean that everyone was treated equally,, but today,, some groups are so used to being treated special,, that receiving equal treatment,, to them, now seems racist’

So is it appropriate for American Indian teachers, in their classroom, to say all sorts of derogatory black racial memes, because the person saying them isn't white?

Good. We need to see thousands of such suits all over the country.

[buffyt]

It is about time.

Very good news I hope to see much more of this.

We need a remake of that James Brown classic. We’ll call it “Say It Loud, We’re White and We’re Proud”.

“ teaches its teachers and students that their whole identity comes from the color of their skin. It teaches them to hate each other. It teaches them not only how to be racist, but that they should be racist. This is illegal, wrong, and must be stopped.””

Absolute proof that libtards are racists.

This is Evanston, Illinois on the northern border of Chicago.

This year the council voted to fund reparations to compensate black residents for historic housing discrimination. Evanston’s 2021 Fourth of July parade and fireworks are cancelled due to health concerns, but Juneteenth and Pride events went on.

In the 2020 Presidential election Democrat Joe Biden received 90% of the Evanston vote while Republican Donald Trump received only 7%.

More than half of the working population is employed by a government entity or a nonprofit such as a hospital or university, including Northwestern University.

Pretty gutsy for Evanston, which recently decided to offer to pay reparations.

[ameribbean expat]

This would have far higher entertainment value if legal groups suing schools for this CRT BS would unite and call themselves something that had the word “Confederation” in it. Confederation Against Racist Dorks = CARD.

Ironically, many (most?) Northwestern employees can’t afford to live in Evanston...they’ve been settling in East Rogers Park instead and driving out the comparatively poor and minority residents.

[Tommy Revolts]

Finally. Now whites get to sue for discrimination. Tables turned.

[SaraJohnson]

It’s about time someone sued for racism.

[1Old Pro]

There ae a lot of lawsuits out there around affirmative action in college admissions. There is no basis for allowing that type of discrimination and eventually it will land a landmark ruling.

[SaraJohnson]

Good. The Left’s rejection of equal opportunity for whites is one degree of evil and it’s systematic race hate doctrines that rationalize the inequality is another degree of evil.
